Economic Development Strategy & Implementation
At King City Advisors, we specialize in helping local governments and economic development organizations create and execute bold, actionable economic development strategies that drive inclusive growth, attract investment, and improve quality of life. Our approach is rooted in data, informed by experience, and shaped through authentic community engagement.
With over three decades of real-world experience in public sector leadership and economic development, we understand that a successful strategy must not only be visionary—it must be practical, politically viable, and rooted in the voices of the people it serves.
Our Services Include
Comprehensive Market & Asset Analysis
We assess your region’s current economic drivers, workforce trends, industry clusters, land availability, infrastructure, and policy environment to identify your true competitive advantage.
Stakeholder Engagement & Community Feedback
We lead structured listening sessions, workshops, and interviews with elected officials, business owners, neighborhood leaders, and residents. This ensures that our strategy reflects the priorities, values, and aspirations of the entire community—not just a select few.
Strategic Plan Development
We design a phased, metrics-based economic development strategy with clearly defined goals, recommended actions, funding sources, timelines, and responsible parties. Strategies may include business attraction and retention, workforce development, downtown revitalization, innovation zones, housing development, or corridor redevelopment.
Implementation & Execution Support
We don’t stop at the plan. King City Advisors offers continued support to help implement the strategy—whether it’s securing grants, launching programs, creating incentive structures, or managing stakeholder coalitions. We also help cities build or restructure economic development departments and development authorities for long-term success.

Our Impact
Our firm has helped structure and implement over $4 billion in public-private development projects and has supported the creation of multiple economic development departments and boards across Georgia. We’ve guided communities through transitions—whether it’s from unincorporated to incorporated status, or from industrial economies to innovation-driven ecosystems.
We tailor every strategy to the local context, leveraging best practices while remaining rooted in the unique fabric of your community.
We believe economic development is most effective when it’s inclusive, intentional, and executed with accountability.
